"I went to the big rally in DC this spring. There were no arrests because there were, like, no cops. Seriously. I think I saw two the entire day. The police must really hate us, if they'd boycott us like that. ;D"

LOL. And thanks for marching...

Some day you will be the minority protester

Whutchu talkin about, Willis? We are the "minority protestors" NOW.

And if I ever behaved in the way those peaceniks did, when they came to my city and shut it down and trashed it, I'd expect the same treatment.

We footed a hefty bill for their "free speech" that day, btw. $900,000, which doesn't included the money LOST to retail establishments on a Saturday. All because of the stage-managing by antiwar movement, who wouldn't be satisfied with people staying home and protesting in their own cities. No, it all had to be dumped on *us* so it would look better on television in Europe.

I don't feel sorry for anyone who got arrested, because I saw them close up. They were spoiling for trouble, and if some of them got it, too bad. Maybe they won't come back.

It wasn't a march, it was more like a party. LOL

[eureka!]

Wish I could have been there. All united in support of one noble cause. Unlike the lefty marchers: "Anarchists for Looting", "Misguided Rats", "Lesbians Who March Whenever They Can", "Jesse Jackson Hirees", "Spotted Owl Fan Club", etc. All with different agendas, looking for a headline and soundbite....

Time to give the cops nerf batons and put foam booties on the horse's feet.

Yup...

Raised quarter horses myself...

They also attacked cops and pro-US citizens with pepper spray, steel pipes, steel-toed boots, belt buckles, and their hands.

Then protestors videoed cops so they could use their response in big civil damages lawsuits for big bucks, publicity, to intimidate them next time, and to get restrictions put on cops in the future.

Hardly "peaceably assembling"...
